It’s good to be excited, but Dad, aren’t you going too fast?

My height of 140 centimeters at the age of seven is not normal, but my father is taller than that. Unlike in the world I lived in, he does not have the joint disease that tall and heavy people suffer from, so my father has 100% of the leg strength that comes from his massive body. I was able to utilize the percentage.

The sight of my father running and attacking the male deer was literally that of a brave warrior.

To be honest, he looked more like a barbarian warrior like something out of the Conan saga rather than a medieval warrior. Still, let’s take it as a consolation that he didn’t take his top off or anything like that.

Even though I am shorter than other children of my age, I also inherited the blood of author Delkisi Nam to some extent. Although I cannot run as fast as my father, I did not get tired while running that distance.

Even if it is a herbivore, if it is large, the feeling of intimidation is enormous. Even if it does not reach the level of an elephant or rhino, it is enough to feel it through one’s skin.

I turned around to avoid the direction where my father and the deer were wrestling, and carefully approached the direction where the female deer was lying down.

As I got closer, the deer looked even bigger. I don’t know how big a moose deer is in real life, but perhaps this deer is much bigger due to the unique characteristics of the ‘fantasy world’.

But the big mother deer was lying on the ground, unable to stand properly.

Steam rose from the red blood spilled on the white snow. Some of the snow was melting as the blood soaked the ground.

And the cubs were snuggling into their mother’s arms.

Blood was pouring out of my leg, where an arrow longer than my arm had been stuck. It looked like it had probably hit an artery.

“Mmmuuuu!!!!”

When the female deer saw me coming out from behind the tree, it screamed. It was scary to see that even when she fell to the ground without being able to use her legs properly, she raised her head and screamed.

And the male who was struggling with his father turned his head this way in response to the sound.

“Where!”

But my father is not a person who will be taken lightly.

The sight of a deer with large antlers standing with its head under its armpits was literally like something out of an illustration in a Greek and Roman mythology book.

Sigh!

Watching him put his knee into the deer’s neck made me forget what I was going to say.

“… … .”

I forced my eyes and turned my head away from my father, who was wrestling with a deer as if he was having so much fun.

A mother deer collapsed on the ground and baby deer crawling into her arms. Actually, the baby deer were bigger than me, but aren’t all baby deer cute-looking?

If he worked up the right amount of strength, he could fight me, but he didn’t seem to be able to even think about it because he had only recently been born into this world.

Could this be a proper negotiation?

It seems that my father wanted to create a situation where I could succeed 100%, but I don’t know if threatening a scared baby in its mother’s arms can be considered a great success.

“Okay, then… … .”

Still, I feel nervous.

What if I get close and the mother swings her free leg and hits me?

What if the pups instinctively headbutt me? What if they kick my chest with their back feet?

… … But bringing me this far means that most people in my family have endured such situations.

Then I guess I can do it too. Although it might hurt if I get hit.

After I convinced myself that, I looked towards my father once again.

My father was still holding the deer’s head firmly under his armpit. It was said that human endurance is one of the best among land animals. He was holding one of the deer’s horns with his other hand. It may not be true in reality, but if you look at the image, you can see that hand. It looked as if its horns could be snapped off.

The deer was breathing heavily with foam at its mouth.

Even though my father was sweating on his face, he smiled and nodded at me.

“… … .”

That’s right.

When I turned around with that warm smile behind me, there was a mother deer looking at me covered in deer.

Nature doesn’t lie. There are just those who eat and are eaten.

Paradoxically, places that do not do this simply end up as dead places. So this is the right thing to do.

Although it is the right thing to do.

“Mmmuuu… … .”

Well, I think I know why vegetarians arise. If people are a bit emotional, it’s enough.

… … But I had no intention of becoming one of those people.

I approached the deer slowly, one step at a time. I bent my back slightly so that I could run away. As I had learned from my older brothers and father at home, I tensed my body and maintained a posture that allowed me to hit the deer with my shoulder.

One by one, the fawns that were digging into their mother’s arms realized my presence and looked at me in horror. I decided not to worry about it, because if I couldn’t do my job here, there was a high possibility that I wouldn’t be able to do it in the future either.

Even if you fail, you have to try. I’m from Delkisi.

“Mmmuuu!”

The mother deer howled loudly again.

Moose are creatures with a strong sense of independence. No matter how powerful and dangerous they are, they are ultimately herbivores. They have more to eat than carnivores, so there is no reason to flock around. Forming a family begins after mating until the offspring are born and become independent. .

So, no matter how hard I call, my colleagues do not come.

Since I had already learned that much, I calmly moved forward without being scared any further. I felt a little better as I kept my eyes on the blood stains, which had been repulsive when I first saw them.

“Mmmuuuu!”

Even if he shouts like that, the male is caught by his father, and there are no comrades to come find him.

“Mmmuuuu… … .”

That’s right. There are no ‘colleagues’ to come.

but-

“Krrr… … .”

“… … Huh?”

“… … Hmm?”

“… … Mmm?”

That’s right. Not only deer and people live in the forest.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that it’s a place where wolves always appear. There are wolves and bears, but you don’t often encounter people.

They catch deer and eat their meat, use their skins, and sometimes even ride them, but they themselves do not pose a threat to humans. Although they are said to be ferocious, they still prefer to run away rather than fight when they encounter humans. Approach them from this side first. If you don’t provoke them, they are unlikely to be attacked.

However, when carnivores encounter humans, they aggressively attack first. It is a barren place where winter continues all year long. It is better to eat whatever you can find.

And Baron’s people know this, so if they see a wolf or bear nearby, they actively hunt it down.

By doing so, you are informing the carnivores. This is a dangerous place, and if you come down there in search of food, you will die, so do not come here.

Yes, it’s like deer that when a carnivore attacks, rather than running away, they actively rush forward and catch it with their horns.

In the wild, the classification of humans and animals is not that important.

They are just struggling to avoid being eaten by those higher up in the food chain.

“Elsie, this way.”

My father spoke quietly.

However, it is rare for wolves to come down this close to the territory. If a pack of wolves came down here, it would be because the leader of the pack had recently changed. The young leader had little experience, so he did not know how much of a threat humans were. I don’t know if it exists.

They are humans smaller than the deer they are chewing on right now.

Just as the moose living in the forest were bigger than the other people, the wolves here were also big. I knew this for sure. The wolves I knew were also big, and the wolves here could almost be called Fenrir. .

It was a little smaller than a deer, but honestly, I wondered if it would be enough to fill the herd’s stomach just with the deer family they were chewing on right now.

I did as my father said and went behind him.

As soon as my father heard the sound of the wolf, he let go of the deer. The deer must have also heard the sound of the wolf, so the deer passed me by and ran towards the female.

And I was hunted without even being able to resist properly.

The female that fell down bleeding and the cubs that were digging into her arms screamed and became a meal for the wolf pack.

With the sacrifice of the deer family, we were able to buy time. In preparation for times like this, we shot flames into the sky with a magic tool that we always carry with us, so people from Namjakja will come soon.

And the wolf pack didn’t seem to know that fact. Normally, that alone would scare them away, but the wolves were brazenly enjoying the party in front of us.

Small wolves that could not join the feeding wolf pack turned their heads towards us.

I looked up at my father. He was looking at the wolves with unwavering eyes. In his hand was the bow he liked to use.

One of the wolves stared at me.

Is this my first time seeing a human baby?

Are you even curious about what it tastes like?

My heart was beating hard.

I thought that if I trusted my father in front of me, I would not die, but at the same time, I thought of the deer that had died earlier. Maybe those deer cubs were thinking the same thing as me right now?

It was at that moment that my hand glowed with green light.

As if responding to the sound of my heart beating violently.
